Ha!

Funny - my last post on this trusty blog was about how disappointing the Confederations Cup was. Funny how that changed in the few days after that entry. (To Future Todd - we got to the final and had Brazil 2-0 at the half before it all went horribly wrong.)

But here we are again - I've got to admit that posting here has long been an afterthought, particularly in light of the key fact that my beloved Orange Chair left my (back)side two years ago, but it's smooth, velvety spirit lives on.

Yeah, that was weird.

But anyway, it's World Cup time - well, in about 10 1/2 days it will be. And it's time to prattle away about the coolest sporting event on the planet. It's amazing how much more there is on the web to read and process about the US team compared to 2006. I'm disappointed that I won't be able to watch as many of the games as I did 4 years ago (when the Orange Chair was at its peak of nonsense). That was the first World Cup where I watched a bunch of the games, and it was a blast. But this time around, I'm in summer school and working, so I just won't have the time. Alas.
